Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Breaks The Franchise's Four-Year Absence

The Guilty Gear series has been quiet since its last release in 2009 with Guilty Gear 2: Overture. Today, Arc System Works announced a new entry into the series with Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-.

You can check out the trailer below, which showcases some of the franchise's always excellent animation and visuals. The characters appear to have received a redesign, with Sol Badguy in particular looking quite a bit bulkier than he has in the past.

The video is light on details, but you do get to see the game in action. Check it out below.

As for the title, I think the "Xrd" part is supposed to be pronounced "zerd." I think they named it that since one of the previous entries was X2, so I think it's supposed to be a play on the word third, you know like X3->Xrd->X third

Wow, I'm actually pretty damn interested in this game. I've never played a Guilty Gear game in my life and I'm always looking for new fighting game titles to play. I can't wait to see what the other characters look like.
